New Products

PFERD recently attended the FABTECH 2018 show, from November 6-8 in Atlanta, Georgia. FABTECH is North America’s largest event for the metalforming, fabricating, welding, and finishing disciplines, showcasing the latest innovations in metalworking technology. FABTECH provides comprehensive education on the industry’s newest advancements and best practices, as well as networking opportunities across a wide spectrum of industries. This year’s event drew more than 35,000 attendees and over 1,500 exhibitors.

At FABTECH 2018, PFERD featured new products being introduced to the market, and highlighted components in our PFERDVALUE® program with a focus on time saving solutions.

PFERD New Product Launch

PFERD unveiled a range of products designed for milling, grinding, and surface conditioning applications. Our product displays and live demonstrations showed how our new solutions increase time savings and boost profitability.

The PFERDVALUE® Program

Product demonstrations in our grinding booth and finishing station highlighted PFERD products featuring core elements of our PFERDVALUE® program. Namely, ways in which we focus on operator health and safety and how we help our end users save time and maximize productivity—a core aspect of the program.

As always, the PFERD team greatly enjoyed interacting with all FABTECH 2018 show attendees and are excited for the resulting opportunities generated from our conversations and interactions.

As we do every year, this year we are once again participating in FABTECH, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event. FABTECH 2015 takes place in Chicago, November 9-12 at McCormick Place, and we’ll be on hand at the four-day show to introduce the newest PFERD products. While they may be new products, the innovative grinding, cutting and surface-finishing tools we’ve added to our catalog provide the same excellent results and the outstanding value PFERD products have been producing for our customers throughout the past two centuries. We’re known for providing single-source solutions for hand finishing, grinding, cutting and specialty applications.

FABTECH attendees have the opportunity to preview our new PFERD TM22 tool manual, and can see live demos of PFERD products. The new PFERD TM22 tool manual has enhanced navigational features, in depth technical data references and over 600 new product innovations. The live demos we’ll be hosting at the show will highlight key applications for many of our grinding, cutting and surface-finishing tools. Plus PFERD representatives will be on hand to answer questions and discuss in-depth details about all of our products.

The PFERD TOOL MOBILE van service will also be onsite demonstrating how we provide firsthand onsite local training to our customers. Feel free to talk to one of our representatives to learn more about scheduling a visit at your shop location.

At FABTECH 2015, see for yourself why manufacturers all over the world rely on our products to get their jobs done, and you can discover why we like to say, “The combination of innovative, high-performance products, world-class customer support, and your expertise guarantees the optimum result for every task!”

Look for the PFERD team in Booth #N8025 at FABTECH 2015. In the meantime, or if you can’t make it to Chicago, if you have any questions about PFERD products, reach out to us through our website, or give us a call at 800-342-9015.

PFERD announces an expansion of the innovative COMBICLICK® Quick Change Fibre Disc system to include surface conditioning, finishing, unitized and felt discs. With these new additions, the COMBICLICK® system provides solutions from rough grinding to mirror polishing.

COMBICLICK® is designed for use with standard 4″, 4½”, 5″ and 7″ angle grinders. The geometry of the backing pad cooling slots ensures a high throughput of air, thus significantly reducing thermal loads on the abrasive material and workpiece. When combined with a variable speed grinder, the COMBICLICK® system provides more performance and versatility than any other systems available. Benefits include up to 30% lower workpiece temperature, 25% increased stock removal, and 30% longer service life.

PFERD INC. and PFERD CANADA INC. are North American subsidiaries of August Rüggeberg GmbH & Co. of Marienheide, Germany, a world leader in the design and manufacture of files, quality abrasive products, cutting tools, brushes and power tools since 1799.

PFERD has developed a line of innovative new burs optimized for machining all steels, including hardened and heat-treated steels. Due to a unique tooth geometry, STEEL Cut burs remove material 30% faster than conventional double-cut burs.

STEEL Cut burs provide smooth, easy-to-control milling operation with reduced vibration and noise, while yielding large chips to reduce dust emissions in the work environment.

PFERD INC. is the U.S. subsidiary of August Rüggeberg GmbH & Co. of Marienheide, Germany, a world leader in the design and manufacture of quality abrasive products, cutting tools, brushes and power tools since 1799.

PFERD offers a new time-saving mounting system for simple and fast change-ups of hole saws. The quick change system consists of two pieces: A drive arbor that mounts to the drill; and adapters that mount to each hole saw. By simply attaching an adapter to each hole saw, the hole saw can be instantly attached to and removed from the arbor with the press of a button. This system can be used with hole saw diameters between 9/16” to 6”.

The drive arbors and adapter sets are sold separately. The new Quick-Change drive arbor features a 7/16” hex shank and ships with a ¼” pilot drill. Three piece adapter sets are available in two thread pitches. Each set contains three identical adapters, allowing the user to have three different sized hole saws ready to go.

POLIFAN®–STRONG Flap Discs feature a major design innovation that allows the removal of more material in less time than any other consumable abrasive tool used with an angle grinder. Available for 4-1/2”, 5”, and now 7” angle grinders. The higher power output of 7” angle grinders is ideal for POLIFAN®-STRONG performance.

POLIFAN®-STRONG is manufactured with 36 and 50 grit zirconia, with 7/8” arbor hole, or 5/8-11 quick-change hub. The 36 grit version is intended for rough surface grinding and weld removal. 50 grit is engineered for chamfering, deburring and edge work.

For heavy-duty applications in shipyards, foundries and steel construction, PFERD has developed two new special cut patterns for its tungsten carbide burs.

The new 3R and 3RS cuts represent a new PFERD product line designed especially for tough operating conditions. These tungsten carbide burs are characterized by their exceptional impact resistance and performance. The new cuts are ideal for all uses involving high mechanical shock or impact loads. Susceptibility to tooth chipping/breakage, splintering and bur head cracking has been effectively minimized.

Even when milling at low RPM with an only moderately powerful machine, the occurrence of tooth failures is dramatically reduced.
